An Age-Old Question: Can Men and Women Be Friends?

Men and women: can they be friends?  That may be the question of all questions for many.  You see it happen all the time in movies and it makes you wonder if it is possible.  Not to mention trying to decipher whether someone (male or female) is simply being nice or whether they are interested.

After spending some time with my best friend today, she has come to the conclusion that women and men cannot be friends--that inevitably, one of them wants more.  I'm not so convinced and am pretty impartial.

So Googled the subject and came up with a couple articles:  one from Psychology Today and the other from Ask Men.com.  The first article suggests that while there are challenges, male-female relations are not only possible, but critical to our lives.  The other article says otherwise.

Because I don't have an opinion on this and, to be honest need more data on the subject, I would love to hear your perspective.  Can men and women be friends?
